When Leopard hits Macs the world over, iPhoto won't be the only application getting some help courtesy of Google. It seems Apple's Safari web browser will be accessing Google's info on potentially dangerous sites to beef up its protection against malicious web sites.

Of course, that's not the only new thing that Safari has going for itself. Features like Web Clip, which lets users create dashboard widgets from a site, and Web Inspector, which allows users to browse the DOM hierarchy from a pop-up window while highlighting the items selected on the page, will also be included. Apple has also taken a page from the CSS book of tricks. Adding a new feature from the next version of CSS, Safari 3.0 will allow the user to resize the text area on a form.

Another feature that's been added to the next version of Safari is the ability to drag and drop a tab around in the browser window. That may not seem like that big of a deal but this is a feature that Safari has lacked for quite some time now. The next version of Safari will also take this whole thing to another level by allowing you to consolidate all open windows into one and placing them each in their own tab, drag-and-drop tabs between windows, and allowing you to reorder the tabs in each window.

All that and loads more. It seems Apple is really making a great deal of effort into making the Mac's browser of choice into a stronger application than it is now, and we're in no way complaining.
